I stumbled onto this shop ... (MOD EDIT TO REMOVE SHOP LINK)

I find the store name offensive and the fact that they put it on a baby onesie even more offensive.

I realize offending me doesn't matter, but is this usage permitted? I'm not sure I want to be associated with a company that allows this.

TIA

PS. I see after posting that at least that word isn't allow in the forums! The 4 letters that got starred start with f***. Sorry not trying to offend anyone in here.

We have a rule around here which is called don't point fingers at other shopkeepers designs or stores. I have removed the link from your post, please do not repost it.

11. If you have concerns about other shopkeeper designs do not post about them in the forums. Instead contact CUP@cafepress.com directly.

Fine, sorry, I didn't realize I was breaking the rules.

So to sum it up ... yes, you can use the word f*** for a store name and on your products.

Thanks. Got it.
